Programming note: There are a lot of Castle reviews, but our coverage isn't quite complete.

Rick Castle (a novelist) and Kate Beckett (an NYPD detective) join forces to solve crime. What elevates Castle (2009-2016) from a standard police procedural is the outstanding cast and some great writing. I liked it enough at first, but soon grew to love it. It can be hilariously funny, darkly dramatic and wonderfully romantic -- sometimes all in one episode.
